Coming Soon: Your Guide to Meeting Congress This August
This fall, Congress will take an important step to protect parental rights, with Representative Mary Miller of Illinois introducing the Parental Rights Amendment in the House of Representatives in early September. This proposed Amendment would enshrine in the United States Constitution the fundamental right of parents “to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children.”
Every August, the Congress takes a recess so that members can return to their home districts, making it one of the most important opportunities to speak up for parental rights. The August Recess is fast approaching, and that means the critical time to get involved starts in just a few days.
During the Recess, you have the chance to meet with your U.S. Representative and Senators in their local offices to ask them to support and co-sponsor this landmark Amendment. You don’t need to be a policy expert, you just need to show up. And in the next few weeks, we’ll provide everything you need to feel confident and ready to lead.
To help you every step of the way, we are preparing a comprehensive Advocacy Toolkit — a simple, step-by-step guide that will include:
- A clear explanation of the Parental Rights Amendment
- How to schedule your meeting
- Key talking points and messages
- Printable handouts to bring with you
Your voice is powerful, and the most important time to use it is now. This is your opportunity to defend parental rights and make a lasting impact for children and families across the country.
Stay tuned for the full toolkit, coming to you right after Independence Day — and get ready to make a difference!
